Bonkgers 3 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Sky Sources understand Liverpool have had a £4million bid for Charlie Adam turned down by Blackpool.Sought-after midfielder Adam has been heavily linked with a move away from Bloomfield Road during this month's transfer window, with Aston Villa having already had two offers for the 25-year-old rejected.Pool boss Ian Holloway previously branded Villa's failed £3.5m bid for Adam 'insulting', and it appears the Seasiders were equally unimpressed by the Reds' offer, which was similarly snubbed despite being the highest bid yet for his services.Holloway has continuously stated that Adam is going nowhere this month, stressing his desire to keep the highly-rated midfielder at the promoted club.Adam has played a key role in Blackpool's maiden Premier League season, knocking in four goals for the Tangerines and helping them to an encouraging 10th in the table. Sadly Walter thought Lee McCulloch was a better centre midfielder than Adam! Awful awful decision! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ment the way Adam played for us he was right to keep McCulloch instead.McCulloch played on the left alot just like Adam but actually put in a shift.I think its unfair to compare them anyway because they do different jobs, Davis would be the type of player to compare Adam too.

Mculloch only got to be a regular when barry left.davis is nothing like adam as a player, adam is best when spraying passes, davis best work when he's on the run, making little intricate passes, looking for the return Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 54,204 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 A player is only worth what a club is willing to pay for him and with the bids Blackpool have received so far it's obvious that nobody apart from Ian Holloway and Rangers fans willing him on rate him as a ten million pound player.I think going to Liverpool would be a disastar. He needs to be the main man to shine and with Gerrard at Anfield that is never going to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricksen_da_best 2,034 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Lee was fuckin rotten at LM I think we slated that guy week in week out when he was LM, we used to play high balls up to him, and he'd challenge and either head it into no mans land, or give away a free kick Who knows what mccullochs correct position is.

Thermopylae 15,287 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Murray must be spitting when he sees this although to be fair Adam is a more valuable player now because he's shown that he can do it in the EPL. Suppose it's just Walter's inability to bring through young players once again which is strange considering he worked under Jim McLean for years ... a man who was famous for doing just that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
